Abstract

Occlusal position correcting therapy entails making the habitual occlusal position consistent with the Muscular Contact Position (MCP). However, since the MCP is very unstable in the mouth, occlusal analysis and equilibration in the MCP should be performed on models mounted on an articulator with a bite plate-induced occlusal position wax record, which represents the MCP. Occlusal equilibration is performed on the articulator and then in the mouth referring to the ground spots on the articulator.
